Answer:

f^-1(x) = x/2 -1

Explanation:


f(x) = 2x + 2\\\\f^-^1 (x) = ?

Let y equal to the given equation ;


y = 2x+2\\

Solve for x ;


y-2 = 2x\\Divide \:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by \:2\\\\(y)/(2) - (2)/(2) = (2x)/(2) \\\\(y)/(2) -1 =x\\\\x = (y)/(2) -1

Change the y back to x


x = (x)/(2) -1 \\\\f^-^1(x) = (x)/(2) -1
